I explanted my Mem double lumen ( full capsulotomy) and still have burning sensation & I get electrical shock pains down into my toe and often in my breast and especially behind my knee. The burning sensation has decreased about 80 percent since the rupture, I m still having issues on the whole right side. When I saw my P.S for my 4 month checkup he said he didn't know why I would have any burning at all... with no answers. Anyone have any answers to why I would still have these symptoms? Thanks
